The navigation screen is way too bright at night, making driving difficult and distracting. When the car is started at night the brightness is normal but after using reverse it brightens to daytime level and cannot be changed without dimming the dashboard lights considerably. Many other 2018 equinox owners have reported the same problem on various web forums.
